Whats A Good Multimeter To Buy?

Is it too late to jump in on this?
No as I've ordered a couple of extra sets of components.
If you can solder its very easy @devdev - I have send b.o.m, schematic and layout to thekeeprza and I don't know if he already made pcb's yet. Suggest you pm him. If you don't come right let me know and I gladly assist.
I get the basics of reading a schematic, but it seems like purchasing a wire zapper would be easier than hunting down components, making the board, mounting in a box.
Just weighing up time vs effort vs cost

If time is the major factor, then I would suggest buy one Dev, if cost is however the major factor, then I would suggest build one.
This is the one that came with my GG

So landed cost would be roughly R900(ish)
Perhaps a bit less.
To go to basics, You could simply get a fat psu, and charge a cap. Not going to look pretty.
Alternatively, simply twist the wires together. That will take up some space though. So I only recommend twisting wires if you are doing duel coil. Any more coils than that, I you need to weld/zap.
The twist will sit on the bend where the channels with the silica are. (your silica runs in the same channel as the wire, and you really dont want wire to protrude past the silica, otherwise you stand the chance of creating a short. )

I will be going to Mantech tomorrow or Friday, just depends on my work load. My father in law has an etching kit so I will try make a pcb this weekend.
I will report back on component costs etc once I have been to Mantech.
Won't be too difficult to put together. A housing box of sorts will have to be figured out but I will check what is available.

keep us posted @thekeeperza
Reading this thread reminds me of the time I was thinking of designing a dongle that plugs into a laptop USB port and reads out volts, ohms, amps, capacitance and can even be used as an oscilloscope. The software stumped me so I gave up.
If cars On Board Diagnostic (OBD) dongle does more than this then I am sure this can be done if not already.
This can be extended to cellphones with an App and a dongle.
Should I contact Bill Gates?

thanks @johan
will it be asking too much for a more or less time line?
im new to the mech mod scene, and cant really judge right now when my battery reaches recharge point, so this device is kinda important
